Re: The Cherry Bomb Classic 3 Discussion Thread
Considering making damage bots that usually get a +4 bonus still eligible for a +2 if their weapon is between 5-10. Any thoughts?

Re: The Cherry Bomb Classic 3 Discussion Thread
Wait I think Ive misread the rules. You need 10 weapon for the weapon to get an armour bonus right? The weapon on Vortex is usually hidden anyway so I dont need it.

Re: The Cherry Bomb Classic 3 Discussion Thread
+2 seems reasonable. Otherwise you're kind of forcing any damaging weapon to have 10+ power.

Re: The Cherry Bomb Classic 3 Discussion Thread
Okay, further update (and I think also just simpler and clearer:
1.4a: Weapon Armour: So a (generally) four point difference between weapon and armour isn’t much. Fortunately, weapon armour is here to help. If you look at most robots, their weapon is generally their strongest, most thickly armoured part. To reflect this, weapons with five or more points invested will receive a free two point armour bonus, making them tougher than the rest of your bot. It’s this number that your self-damage will be based off of. In the case of crushers (including their associated wedges) and smaller spinning weapons (say, smaller than your robot’s longest axis), this bonus will be bumped up to four points if you have invested ten or more points into weapon power. No trying to find loopholes, however. While things like shell and ring spinners get an exception, generally, your weapon has to cover less than 1/3 of your robot to receive this bonus. If it’s a bit too big, you can choose to apply that bonus to a single, easily-definable area that’s less than ⅓.

Imgur now sucks and reduces image quality so if anyone has any options for good file hosting, I'm all ears. Right now I'm using the ARC Wiki host to embed Eudial's images. The quality is still reduced but much less so than Imgur.

You can host them on here as attachments- I don't think phpBB will reduce the quality.

Re: The Cherry Bomb Classic 3 Discussion Thread
Okay, so I wanted to give you guys a bit of notice before the start date, so I figured I'd post all of this here, on the discussion thread. Any bots that are found to have issues will have until the evening of Thursday, January 31, to rectify those issues. Failing that, the TO and senior staff will either reassign stats as needed or, if that isn't possible, bar the bot in question from competition. If The issue is highlighted in red, that means it is something that you have to fix. If it's yellow, consider it a sort of FYI. Basically, something on your bot may not quite work as intended. Anyways, without further ado, let's play...
